Having a noble die is penalty enough. Unless you can get the body you have
to wait 12 turns just to get the NP back. Then you have to spend all that
time money to retrain him. If a noble knew 6 skills (20 weeks total) thats
another 10 turns to train him back up. In real time, that comes to 5 months
to replace a dead noble. The penalty is enough.
This is clearly a bug and needs to be fixed.
